- 耶和华对约书亚说,不要惧怕,也不要惊惶。你起来,率领一切兵丁上艾城去,我已经把艾城的王和他的民,他的城,并他的地,都交在你手里。
- 你怎样待耶利哥和耶利哥的王,也当照样待艾城和艾城的王。只是城内所夺的财物和牲畜,你们可以取为自己的掠物。你要在城后设下伏兵。
- 于是,约书亚和一切兵丁都起来,要上艾城去。约书亚选了三万大能的勇士,夜间打发他们前往,
- 吩咐他们说,你们要在城后埋伏,不可离城太远,都要各自准备。
- 我与我所带领的众民要向城前往。城里的人像初次出来攻击我们的时候,我们就在他们面前逃跑,

- Now the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear or be dismayed Take all the people of war with you and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
- "You shall do to Ai and its king just as you did to Jericho and its king; you shall take only its spoil and its cattle as plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it."
- So Joshua rose with all the people of war to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose 30,000 men, valiant warriors, and sent them out at night.
- He commanded them, saying, "See, you are going to ambush the city from behind it. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.
- "Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out to meet us as at the first, we will flee before them.
